The LMC835 is a monolithic, digitally-controlled graphic
equalizer CMOS LSI for Hi-Fi audio. The LMC835 consists
of a Logic section and a Signal Path section made of analog
switches and thin-film silicon-chromium resistor networks.
The LMC835 is used with external resonator circuits to
make a stereo equalizer with seven bands,
g
12 dB org6
dB gain range and 25 steps each. Only three digital inputs
are needed to control the equalization. The LMC835 makes
it easy to build a mP-controlled equalizer.
The signal path is designed for very low noise and distortion, resulting in very high performance, compatible with
PCM audio.

SWITCHING NOISE
The LMC835 uses CMOS analog switches that have small
leakages (less than 50 nA). When a band is selected for flat
gain, all the switches in that band are open and the resonator circuit is not connected to the LMC835 resistor network.
It is only in the flat mode that the small leakage currents can
cause problems. The input to the resonator circuit is usually
a capacitor and the leakage currents will slowly charge up
this capacitor to a large voltage if there is no resistive path
to limit it. When the band is set to any value other than flat,
the charge on the capacitor will be discharged by the resistor network and there will be a transient at the output. To
limit the size of this transient, R
HOW TO AVOID SWITCHING NOISE DUE TO LEAKAGE
CURRENT (Refer to
To avoid switching noise due to leakage currents when
changing the gain, it is recommended to put R
kX between Pin 3 and Pin 5Ð11 each, Pin 26 and Pin 12Ð
24 each. The resistor limits the voltage that the capacitor
can charge to, with minimal effects on the equalization. The
frequency response change due to R

SIMPLE WORD GENERATOR
Circuit operation revolves around an MM74HC165 parallelin/serial-out shift register. Data bits D0 through D7 are applied to the parallel of the MM74HC165 from 8 toggle
switches. The bits are shifted out to the DATA input of the
LMC835 in sync with the clock. When all data bits have
been loaded, CLOCK is inhibited and a STROBE pulse is
generated: this sequence is initiated by a START pulse.
LMC835-COP404L CPU INTERFACE (Refer to
The diagram shows AND gates between the COP and the
LMC835. These permit G2 to inhibit the CLOCK and DATA
lines (SK and SO) during a STROBE (G1) pulse. This function may also be implemented in software. As shown in
ure 2
, the data groups are shifted in D0 first. Data is loaded
on positive clock edges.
POWER SUPPLIES
These applications show LM317/337 regulators for the
g
7.5V supplies for the LMC835. Since the latter draws only
5 mA max., 1k series dropping resistors from the
amp supply and a pair of 7.5V zeners and bypass caps will
also suffice.
